OTTAWA, Canada – Travel restrictions at the US border with Canada will remain in place.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the border will stay closed to non-essential travel at least until July 21st.
Trudeau says he has to put the safety of Canadians first by preventing the spread of Covid-19 variants.
He says a lot is riding on how fully they’re able to vaccinate the Canadian population and wants to see a 75 percent first vaccination rate before opening back up.
New rules for travelers who’ve been fully vaccinated are expected to be announced today.
